David Applesauce Tran – O San Francisco
Released in 2007, this 5-song EP was written and produced by Applesauce. A prolific writer, David’s music is laid-back and warm…enough to give anyone that good fuzzy feeling, especially with good tea. The tunes are deep and personal…with a hint of optimism and faith. We dig the tunes…yes we do. In fact, we dubbed David the original Vietnamese soul man. Order yourself a copy and see for yourself.
